How things relate<br />

<strong>The</strong> core of the <strong>ConTEXt</strong> system is the TEX typesetting <strong>engine</strong>, but it is the integration with<br />

other technologies that provides it with real power.<br />

TEX<br />

LUA<br />

XML<br />

<strong>ConTEXt</strong><br />

PDF<br />

METAPOST<br />

UTILITIES<br />

<strong>The</strong> user may code in <strong>ConTEXt</strong> or xml or both simultaneously. Third--party graphics can be<br />

included with ease and <strong>ConTEXt</strong> understands and interplays with METAPOST such that<br />

its graphics output may adapt to its surroundings. If needed, external utilities or built in<br />

Lua code can manipulate the content and data can come from virtually every source.<br />

<strong>The</strong> output is high quality portability pdf. This permits <strong>ConTEXt</strong> to create intelligent documents<br />

with hyperlinks, JavaScript, movies, sound and other widgets. Of course <strong>ConTEXt</strong><br />

supports the latest font technologies.<br />
